Movies

Despite some incredible films made last year, Growing Up Smith remains one of the most fun films I saw a screening of. It's lighthearted, family-friendly, and just a great ride that puts a smile on your face throughout. It's smart and doesn't pander to its audience. It's been a long time since I've seen a coming of age comedy that hits all the right notes so fluently, it's heartfelt and intelligent. The music cuts fit the film really well, and the pop culture awareness for its period is spot on without feeling contrived. The child actors are particularly good, complimenting Jason Lee and Anjul Nigam well. A must see when it releases in theaters next month.

"Movies which make you feel grate" - well that is my classification. It is indeed a great come back of the long gone feeling of enjoying a movie for me. The movie kept my on pleasing feather-light entertainment walk where you didn't find many such big bumps, crazy surprises or emotional strikes. Of course the creativity of everyone contributed must to be in exact harmony to bring such a lovely piece of work. Recommended holiday flick.

Refreshing! I'd like to see more movies like this. Jason Lee anchored it for me. His character was a good character and he played it very well. Brighton Sharbino was a good decision on the casting director's end too. Everybody was great. I never wrote a review on IMDB but felt compelled to write one for this movie. Enjoyed it a lot.
